About Marissa

Marissa Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, and work or career strain. She welcomes direct conversation about hard topics like abandonment, attachment wounds, caregiving stress, codependency, and ADHD. Her style is warm and straightforward.

She aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who already knows change is needed. Clients can expect a collaborative session where she listens first and tailors the plan next.

Background and approach

Sessions begin by mapping strengths, current struggles, and the small changes a person wants to try. Marissa uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral methods and motivational interviewing to shape short-term goals and homework when it helps. She also brings an attachment-based lens to understand how early relationships affect current patterns.

Somatic-informed work is part of her approach when body awareness can help people feel less overwhelmed and more grounded. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas show up when the goal is to make room for difficult feelings while moving toward valued living. Marissa has three years of clinical experience and holds LCSW licensure in Louisiana and Virginia.

She keeps language simple and focuses on steps people can use between sessions. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. If you want a therapist who listens, co-creates goals, and uses both body-focused and talk-based tools, she offers that blended approach.

Start by sharing where you are and what you hope will change, and the work will follow from there.

How Somatic and Talk Therapies Work Online

Marissa blends somatic-informed work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Somatic-informed work focuses on noticing body sensations and simple physical practices to help reduce overwhelm and build regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then take steps toward things they value. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current behavior and helps people rewrite those patterns in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will partner with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice is revisited as progress is made and priorities shift.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find it simpler to practice grounding or mindfulness skills at home between sessions, while others prefer in-person setups; Marissa will help figure out what works best for each person.
